馬太福音 6:25
- 34
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith?
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
「所以我告訴你們,不要為生命憂慮吃什麼,喝什麼;為身體憂慮穿什麼。生命不勝於飲食嗎?身體不勝於衣裳嗎?
你們看那天上的飛鳥,也不種,也不收,也不積蓄在倉裡,你們的天父尚且養活他。你們不比飛鳥貴重得多嗎?
你們那一個能用思慮使壽數多加一刻呢(或作:使身量多加一肘呢)?
何必為衣裳憂慮呢?你想野地裡的百合花怎麼長起來;他也不勞苦,也不紡線。
然而我告訴你們,就是所羅門極榮華的時候,他所穿戴的,還不如這花一朵呢!
你們這小信的人哪!野地裡的草今天還在,明天就丟在爐裡,神還給他這樣的妝飾,何況你們呢!
所以,不要憂慮說:吃什麼?喝什麼?穿什麼?
這都是外邦人所求的,你們需用的這一切東西,你們的天父是知道的。
你們要先求他的國和他的義,這些東西都要加給你們了。
所以,不要為明天憂慮,因為明天自有明天的憂慮;一天的難處一天當就夠了。」
雅各書 4:13
- 17
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.
嗐!你們有話說:「今天明天我們要往某城裡去,在那裡住一年,作買賣得利。」
其實明天如何,你們還不知道。你們的生命是什麼呢?你們原來是一片雲霧,出現少時就不見了。
你們只當說:「主若願意,我們就可以活著,也可以做這事,或做那事。」
現今你們竟以張狂誇口;凡這樣誇口都是惡的。
人若知道行善,卻不去行,這就是他的罪了。
馬太福音 6:33
- 34
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
你們要先求他的國和他的義,這些東西都要加給你們了。
所以,不要為明天憂慮,因為明天自有明天的憂慮;一天的難處一天當就夠了。」
哥林多前書 2:9
However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" - the things God has prepared for those who love him-
如經上所記:神為愛他的人所預備的是眼睛未曾看見,耳朵未曾聽見,人心也未曾想到的。
啟示錄 21:4
'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
神要擦去他們一切的眼淚;不再有死亡,也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛,因為以前的事都過去了。」
腓立比書 4:6
- 7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
應當一無掛慮,只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求,和感謝,將你們所要的告訴神。
神所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裡保守你們的心懷意念。
彼得前書 5:6
- 7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
所以,你們要自卑,服在神大能的手下,到了時候他必叫你們升高。
你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神,因為他顧念你們。
彼得前書 1:3
- 5
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父神!他曾照自己的大憐憫,藉耶穌基督從死裡復活,重生了我們,叫我們有活潑的盼望,
可以得著不能朽壞、不能玷污、不能衰殘、為你們存留在天上的基業。
你們這因信蒙神能力保守的人,必能得著所預備,到末世要顯現的救恩。
彼得後書 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
主所應許的尚未成就,有人以為他是耽延,其實不是耽延,乃是寬容你們,不願有一人沉淪,乃願人人都悔改。
哥林多前書 15:32
If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
我若當日像尋常人,在以弗所同野獸戰鬥,那於我有什麼益處呢?若死人不復活,我們就吃吃喝喝吧!因為明天要死了。
